@tolimanjo said in v5.1.3 Android Client:
Anyway, putting an HTTPS-HTTP proxy in front of the server (and specifying https:// on the client) fixed the problem.
Indeed, with nginx and a few lines in config it works via https.
As for now it doen't look like offering much - no information on nodes, dashboard not working; will be implemented one day, I hope.
Thq question is: the application does not notify about alarms as I can see. Is that correct?
@filipp-sudanov said in NetXMS v5.2.7 hangs soon after start:
I'd recommend to migrate to MySQL, MSSQL or Postgres (I personally prefer the last option, but it's just whatever you are comfortable with).
Works with PostgreSQL (default settings) without issues - confirmed. And once again - thank you 
@filipp-sudanov said in NetXMS v5.2.7 hangs soon after start:
Is this still with SQLite?
Yes. I remember the advice on using any other DB and I might switch to another one later, although that would be too much for my needs and I preffer concept "The easier the better", i.e. the less extra software. But generally speaking if SQLite is provided as an option - it has work correctly.
@filipp-sudanov said in NetXMS v5.2.7 hangs soon after start:
mean that something is not good with the server process (netxmsd).
So, running NetXMS service with -D 9 argument brought following as for now:
Thread "Recurrent scheduler" does not respond to watchdog thread
Log doesn't seem to contain much useful information .. should I upload mini or full dump somewhere?

@filipp-sudanov said in NetXMS v5.2.7 hangs soon after start:
Yes, messages about
Thread "Syncer Thread" does not respond to watchdog thread
Thread "Recurrent scheduler" does not respond to watchdog thread
mean that something is not good with the server process (netxmsd).
Exactly. I'll try to check via Process Manager the thread stack - if/when it hangs up again.
@filipp-sudanov said in NetXMS v5.2.7 hangs soon after start:
First thing to check memory consumption by netxmsd, may be it goes up and system starts swapping.
What are the specs of the machine? What DB do you use?
Supermicro X10DRi-T, 64 Gb RAM, 2x Xeon E5-2683 v3, 1 Tb NVMe SSD with paging file.
Does not look like lack of memory, but I'll be watching that too.
@filipp-sudanov said in NetXMS v5.2.7 hangs soon after start:
Is the DB on the same machine?
Yes
@filipp-sudanov said in NetXMS v5.2.7 hangs soon after start:
From another thread is seems that you've installed with SQLite. This could be the reason for server locking.
I'm aware of the fact that SQLite is not made for heavy loads and I'm going to monitor less than ten devices (home server, dad's pc, my desktop, few routers - mostly not to worry about HDDs in RAID and to be sure WireGuard is ok). But that hanging up has happened when NetXMS was freshly installed and was monitoring only itself, then I've added one MikroTik router monitored via SNMP with default settings, - which is hardly any bit of load.
@filipp-sudanov said in NetXMS v5.2.7 hangs soon after start:
I'd recommend to migrate to MySQL, MSSQL or Postgres (I personally prefer the last option, but it's just whatever you are comfortable with).
One you've configured parameters for the new DB in netxmsd.conf, and ran "nxdbmgr init" to initialize new databases's tables, you can use
nxdbmgr import <path-to-your-sqlite-db>
to migrate your exising sqlite database into the new one.
I'll keep that in mind, thank you - I really appreciate your help
We'll see how it works ...

@filipp-sudanov said in Problem installing on Windows Server with SQLite:
Also note that SQLite is for testing only as it may not handle multiple parallel queries well. But is should be fine for a few tenths of nodes.
Yep, thank you, - I've read about that; although I hardly have any experience with databases.
It's basically for less than 10 computers - home server, desktop etc.
Btw - I'm not sure that hardware vendor/model/serial number recognition is strictly maintained (sure, there are thousands of devices), but just in case - it does not work 100% correct in terms of fields (WD Blue HDDs, also Kingston memory is not recognized at all):
@filipp-sudanov said in Problem installing on Windows Server with SQLite:
In case of SQLite database login and password is not used. There is no need to check "Create database and database user before initialization". Just fill in "Path to database file", folders in that path should exist after installer finishes extracting files, so C:\NetXMS\server.db should be fine. NetXMS will create the database automatically.
Oh, thank you so much - indeed that worked: installation was successfully completed, now "NetXMS Core" service is running, log does not contain any error messages and login at web-interface (installed afterwards) works ok.
I'd suggest - it would be handy if "Create database and database user before initialization" and afields below it would be grayed out in the installer if SQLite is selected.
Hi everyone!
I'm trying to install NetXMS Server on freshly installed Windows Server 2025 as Administrator like following:
In the end of installation console window appears:
NetXMS Database Manager Version 5.2.7 Build 5.2-483-g0fe7ba4e30
Creating database and user...
Database creation is not implemented for selected database typeUnable to create database or user

which according to Process Explorer is a result of command run by installer:
"C:\NetXMS\bin\nxdbmgr.exe" -c "C:\NetXMS\etc\netxmsd.conf" init -P -F sqlite -C "admin/netxms"
File "C:\NetXMS\etc\netxmsd.conf" contains following: (2)
DBDriver=sqlite.ddr
DBName=C:\NetXMS\database\netxms.db
LogFile=C:\NetXMS\log\netxmsd.log
Service "NetXMS Core" is not running and restarting it manually results in just it getting stopped.
